La Creperie

This place is really homey, =) Good place to spend time with friends as you enjoy their menu. 


 Crepe Brulee with Strawberry and Banana



Apple Crisp Ala Mode


Salidou




Mendokoro Ramenba in Salcedo Makati

Rainy day in Makati last Dec 22nd, feeling hungry so the nearest to our Hotel (Picasso Makati) is this Ramen house.


We did not expect that we have to wait for about 30-40 minutes to be served because it was afterall a super late lunch at 3PM. Oh Well, since we are here, might as well just wait for it. 


Gyoza, is good. Not that much different from other Japanese Restaurants. 


The Soup! Oh it is really good. the wait for this bowl of Ramen (Shiyo Tonkatsu Ramen) is worth it. 
It is expensive though. haha But, The eggs are not as good as i expected. There is something with their Eggs that throws it off. 


KanZhu Hand Pulled Noodles

It was a casual restaurant, with really nice lighting like this. :D 


The Assorted Cold Cuts, is a bit disappointing, not close to those in the Chinese Restaurants.


This Shrimp Spring Roll is a bit burnt, isn't it? Well it does not taste quite good too, the meat seems like that of a fast food, hell Chowking's Lumpiang Shanghai tasted better. haha 


Mixed Seafood X.O Dry Noodle


Sliced Beef X.O Dry Noodle (I loved it before, but its a bit too dry, the sauce is without a doubt too little. I could hardly get a sauce for half the noodles served. =( Disappointed in this last visit of ours.



Beef Noodle Soup, looked a bit too ordinary for a "hand pulled noodle restaurant" 





Gino's Brick Oven Pizza

First time here, and its been memorable, I can't wait to bring my friends here.



Started our Lunch here with their homemade Burrata and Prosciutto Di Parma
The cheese, the bread.. its so perfect, We almost forgot we have pizzas and pasta ordered as well. 


Summer Salad, gives our lunch a fresh clean taste


Pastas! The Pesto Pasta Came in as this,we did not know its open faced :P  


Salted Egg Pasta is quite a surprise, it is really so wonderful. I love it, it was a good choice. Highly recommended. 



The Margherita and Fresh Mozzarella Pizza is also really good! :D 




Din Tai Fung, Xiao Long Bao Expert


I am not the type that has to try appetizers, but their house special got me curious. :D 

This one is great! A must try House Special Appetizer. 



Getting ready for my Xiao Long Bao




I tried Pork Xiao Long Bao and the Crab Roe Xiao Long Bao. Both are highly recommended! =) 


Din Tai Fung's Wintermelon Milk Tea


I honestly do not remember if the Xiao Long Bao tastes the same with their Taiwan main branch, but Well, its just me. All Xiao Long Bao tastes the same already...?! ehehe

Yang Chow Chinese Restaurant (Eton Centris)


Assorted Cold Cuts, Them so yummy! =) 


Vegetable Soup


Yang Chow Fried Rice


Hot Prawn Salad


Beef with Broccolli


Lemon Chicken =) 


All of the above is just perfect! They are so good! =) 


Milk Tea Adventures by a Milk Tea Addict

Macao Imperial, Tried because of a GRAB Promo. =) 



also, Tried their Matcha Creamcheese, and its better than expected. =) 



A house special Wintermelon Milktea at Din Tai Fung! =) 


Its really small for the price, but its one of the best Milk Tea i have ever tried. =) 

In Trinoma, apart from the more common Gong Cha, and Cha! Time... There's also a new milktea house called Yi Fang. =) 




    
Their bubble (pearl) is small and its so good, though the milk tea itself is not that very different from the usual ones. 

As for Chatime, I always go for my favorite Coffee Milk Tea... but this time also tried their new Marble Pearl milk tea, which is surprisingly good. It is the same with the Brown Sugar Milk Tea of GongCha.


Still, my most favorite drink is from DAKASI, its called Hokkaido Milk Pearl. There is no tea in it, just pure milk and brown sugar.  




For a quick milk tea cravings, there is a "SLURP" in bottle, found in Family Mart and 7-eleven, this flavor, is the best.
